cptchaos Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Polished and waxed the paintwork on the V-ROD. It was in pretty good shape to begin with but because the seat rubs the lower portion of the airbox cover, I'd say I got a solid 7/10 correction in the minor scuffs and holograms. A bike is never so beautiful as the day you sell it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Today I removed the OEM Bridgestone Trailwing tires I had on for a road trip and I installed the Mitas E-09's for the upcoming trip on the Smokey Mountain 500 3 day ADV ride down in TN, GA.NC.

durk Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Rode to work and the rear end felt a bit loose. Just replaced the Q3 tires with Pilot Road 2s. 2100 miles out of a rear tire kind of sucks. It will be interesting to see if I notice a difference in grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilD'oh! Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Rode the FJR to work and took the long way home, along the river. After dinner, took the wife to the local ice cream place on the Ural. Good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Got a fresh set of tires installed for the Gap Trip. Just over a week before we leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Zrx1200 almost done. Brakes are all rebuilt, on, and bled out. Body work installed. New battery installed. Carbs in and synced. Seat and shocks should be here by weeks end. A few loose ends to tye up and I'll be ready to take her down the road. Looks like it should be done in plenty of time for the gap trip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Got a new seat for the Honda. Looks like it will require some frame alterations in order to fit. I'm not going to hoop it tho, I like my rear fender. Thinking of removing the rear subframe cross bracing so it sits flat and unbolting the stock seat lock.

JustinNck1 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Rode to work this morning with the top case installed. First time I've rode with it this year. Takes some getting used to with cross winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cptchaos Posted May 26, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Traded the V-rod for this sexy zx-6r! Had to do the swap in Kentucky but I think we both made out really well. I was looking for a supersport and he was jonesin for a muscle cruiser. Win win and the rain hasn't started yet ?

cptchaos Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Re-installed the original muffler. PO had taken it off and put an awful gp style turn out pipe on the cat outlet. No servo delete and no tune. To be fair, it did sound kinda cool although a bit buzzy above 7k RPM. I think eventually I'll get a new muffler because stock is too quiet.

Howabusa Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I took a 200 mile ride around the Danville Mohican area, yesterday. I had a couple of small maintenance issues that I had fixed, needed to make sure they were good. They are. Ready for the Gap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptchaos Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Played a little, "replace the screws the PO left out". Buttoned up all the exhaust covers and then removed the chain guard to do a little scrub-a-dub tomorrow. PO did not maintain the chain, EVER :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to attach them to the post, or get a direct link to the full image. That link will end with the image type. Jpg, gif or so on.
